After my successful re-election campaign, I will return for a fourth term as the Member for Southport. Along with this important role I have been appointed as the new Minister of Tourism and Fair Trading. This position also includes the Racing and Liquor Licensing portfolios.

During my time as Minister I will be visiting tourism icons all over Queensland and this page will keep track of my work. I encourage everyone to follow my travels as the Minister by reading below my entries into the Minister's Diary where I will write about my latest experiences.

Tourists Sold on Brisbane 'Five in One' card

What a great idea! Vistors to Brisbane can now purchase a 'Five in one' discount card to encourage them to stay longer and experience the city's top tourism attractions. I launched the discount card at Riverlife Adventure Centre this week which is one of the key tourist experiences available on  the card.

The others include entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the Story Bridge Adventure Climb, Kookaburra River Queen Cruises and XXXX Brewery Tour. The card not only offers visitors great savings of up to 30 percent but it's being trialled as a pilot and if successful could be rolled out to other regions across Queensland.

More information on the Brisbane 'Five in One' card which is a joint initiative of Tourism Queensland and Brisbane Marketing is available at:
